Description / Abstract:
This test method covers the measurement of apparent viscosity of
roofing bitumen by means of a parallel plate plastometer. This test
method is applicable for a viscosity range from 102 to
109 Pa·s (103 to 1010 poises). See
Note 1.
NOTE 1—This relatively simple test method of measuring viscosity
uses pre-determined arbitrary shear stress levels. Since roofing
bitumens are non-Newtonian, other viscosity test methods may give
different results.
The values stated in SI units are regarded as standard. The
inch-pound units given in parentheses are for information only.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
